Honoring Self, Loving the Other

September 11, 2010

12:30 - 4 p.m. at

742 N. LaSalle Street

 

Our past months together have allowed us to journey into the center of the self and examine the heart, discovering old wounds and repairing them. Having solidified that process, we now move forward to claim the direction of our future personal experience, living in a place of love and faith. Using the maps and tools of our spiritual practice, we can find the courage and strength to love and be loved. By loving ourselves, we can explore love and partnership with others.
During our September practice, we will surrender parts of the ego that tie us to pride and control, using trust and self acceptance as keys to understanding our imperfections and those of others. This will open us to the possibility of fulfillment and intimacy that we may have been avoiding, or unable to obtain, in the past. Recognizing and giving up old defenses will open us to others, as the depth of our heart expands and aligns with a positive life attitude. To do this, we must:
o Be open about what we truly want in our lives, based on positive experiences
o Honor our wisdom by listening to and trusting our inner voice regarding others
o Respect our life experience while looking to the future
Embarking on this journey to find strength, reliability and intimacy in partnership means that we must use these tools to the best of our ability, and believe in the power of their existence. The degree to which we remember the “great spirit,” and call on it for guidance reflects the aspects of life experience that make us unique, as individuals and in partnerships. During this part of the soul retrieval, we take the time to reflect on spirit as an ally and protector in our daily lives.

Susan A. Lipshutz, L.C.S.W., has more than 25 years of experience teaching and practicing integrative psychotherapy. She brings a foundation in Western medicine and indigenous spiritual practices to her work. Previously, she has served as the Director of Behavioral Sciences for the Family Practice Residency Training Programs with the Illinois Masonic Medical Center and West Suburban Hospital. Today, as a student of crosscultural spiritual practices including Andean wisdomkeepers
and Mapuche ceremonialists, Susan integrates the ancient divine feminine wisdom of our grandmothers with her own powerful modern teachings, crafting an easy-to-understand style of empowerment and self-love attuned to the complexities of today’s modern woman. Because the sacred feminine archetype is always growing and evolving, Susan is dedicated to weaving this understanding into ongoing training, studies and sacred journeys around the globe, as well as in her individual practice in Chicago. She has worked to create intentional communities where healing and evolution can occur at the
deepest level, and encourages others to offer their personal change in service of the greater collective. Her passionate work in support of universal divine feminine wisdom teachings, embodying heartfelt love and shared purpose, offers both women and men the realization of an ancient and timeless dream – a dream that we have the privilege and responsibility not only to witness, but also to co-create. Susan also has a private practice for integrative psychotherapy and can be reached at (312) 787-7077.
